Question

Using Win32 12.0.1.3298, I'm trying to start a database server with a configuration file that contains tool-specific commands, something like

# start engines with given database key
#if tool=dbsrv12,dbeng12
  -ek "mysecret"
#endif

Unfortunately, that does not work. Obviously the tool names used for the server - namely "dsbsrvX" and "dbengX" - are not recognized as documented. If I add an #else part, then that part is used.

However, it seems that the executable's name without the version-specific suffix does work, i.e.

#if tool=dbsrv,dbeng
  -ek "mysecret"
#endif

Question:

Is the documentation or the implementation wrong in that respect - or am I doing something wrong?

Accepted Answer

The tool names for the servers do not include the version numbers, so:

the personal server (dbengX) tool name is dbeng
the network server (dbsrvX) tool name is dbsrv
the runtime engine (rtengX) tool name is rteng
the mobilink server (mlsrvX) tool name is mlsrv

I have made a comment on the 12.0.1 DCX documentation page stating the correct tool name (aka utility-name) for these servers
